Photo Challenge Day # 326

Day # 326



Mom called me today, the tone of her voice, to me sounded like she had found a treasure. She had found something exciting and she had wanted to share it with me!
Mom had found a journal written by my father so many years ago.  Mom told me, that dad had written about their engagement in Stuttgart Germany, Easter Sunday, April 5th, 1953. He wrote about his trip across the Atlantic to Canada on the ship called, M.S. Nelly to Quebec City arriving on April 23, 1953. He's destination was Vauxhall, AB. To work on a farm.  He didn't know how to drive, but soon was driving a tractor. I do have pictures of dad driving a tractor and riding a horse. My dad was now an Albertan cowboy!  He had written so much that mom has spent a couple of days reading and rereading dad's journal! Yes, she did find a treasure! 

Day # 326 "Still life of Dad's glasses and his Latin text book" 

I am glad that dad had put his thoughts to paper, and that mom had found it and decided to read his journal. 
I look at this photograph of my dad's glasses. I remember him wearing this pair when I was a little girl. 
I truly do wonder about what my dad did see? His experiences, how he viewed the world...

This blog is dedicated to my dad! 

See you tomorrow with Day # 327!
